Q&A with Carol Mann

joanne.l.2222862 asked:

I would like to learn more about your work .
And your classes, because the beauty , I see

Carol Mann answered:

Thank you very much. I teach in Washington, NC. My classes are for beginners and intermediate students who have a bit of watercolor experience. I have only been painting for 4 years myself, so I'm not qualified to teach advanced level students. I love what I do, and I'm always excited to share what limited knowledge I have with others!

jsmith.ke1687375 asked:

fantastic, great to see the enlarged picture it shows in more depth how you achieved such a realistic look, how did you go about painting the eyes? they bring the painting to life.

Carol Mann answered:

They eyes are the soul of the animal. I paint the eyes first, and then go from there. These eyes were established by painting wet on damp and letting the colors run together ever so slightly. Then I did the dark edges and the pupils.
